Dear All,

Just a quick note to thank everyone who put their names down and played on Saturday in what I consider to be one of the best formats of pairs better ball. It was a pleasure to play with Ian and Annie in what was quite a tussle between the four of us with Ian and Annie coming out on top with 47 points and winning one of the most prestigious SDM trophy’s “The Captains Jug”.
